This Latest Gadget for the iPhone iOS & Android OS is set to revolutionise the way dual simcards have traditionally worked.
The Rules are revered with the introduction of the Gmate when you Jailbreak your Apple Ipod Touch, iPad, iPad 2, iPhone 3G 3GS & 4 and soon software to come which will allow any Bluetooth enabled Android Phone or Tablet to be transformed too..
Their is so many way to use the Gmate and we have only touched the surface with the Demo and Review using an iPhone 4 on the 4.2.1 iOS but can be used with higher Jail-breakable firmwares too.
It really is very simple to download the application from Cydia with the providers user guides. Via the Bluetoothoption Pair up the Gmate once its charged with the supplied micro usb charging cable using your PC or your iPhone, Ipod touch or iPad charger.
Next once paired via Bluetooth on your Apple Device you can find the main setting page to make some more configuration changes.
If your Gmate network simcard provider needs a username and password then also enter this info here and enable it.
The Software Interface Screenshot of the Dialler and SMS functions and an important import function to be able to use the new phone book for the 2nd simcard connected in the Gmate.
An iPod Touch cost much less than an iPhone, and in most cases users will never need to sign a contract with a carrier. Simply insert any GSM SIM card and turn your iPod Touch into an iPhone.
For iPhone or Android Phone Users
Users of iPhone and Android Phones (HTC, Samsung, Motorola, etc) already have a SIM card inside, but all these phones can only accommodate one SIM card.
For all those of you who utilise a Rebel Micro Unlock sim & dont want to wait and would like to try out the new iOS 5 its an excellent chance now for you.
Some days ago the new iOS 5.0 Beta 6 was released by Apple. Its taken 3 Days for the hacker community to create a software tool called SnowBreeze that can create a custom iPSU with a preserved baseband.
The Snowbreeze application can also jailbreak the iOS 5.0 Beta 6 but is not yet Un Tethered.
You can do only one of the 2 via this solution.
1 Jailbreak your iPhone 4 but you would need to update the Baseband but cant yet use Rebel Micro Unlock Simcards till we Release a new firmware soon when Apple releases the official version around Mid September and you can update your older cards using the Rebel Programmers.
2 Using the Snowbreeze software you can create in minutes a modified iOS 5.0 Beta 6 IPSU file where the Baseband is Preserved with the 04.10.01 version. Using this file you can update your iPhone 4 in Itunes via the Restore Function an then still use the Latest iOS 5.0 beta 6 software and still be able to unlock your iPhone 4 using the Rebel Micro Unlock Simcards.
Some Differences in the instructions
The unlock instructions are still the same but one thing to note is this. Once you power on the iPhone 4 with your desired network simcard and the Rebel Micro unlock simcard you will see a pop up Menu as normal and select the Accept option on the Rebel Xpress & the Init112 option on the Rebel Pro micro sim.
Up to this point when you press the Accept or Init112 option you would normally see the state of the iPhone to show only 1 Bar. This option to show the 1 Bar is no longer working the same way when unlocking iPhone 4 iOs Beta 6 with the preserved Baseband 04.10.01 version.
When you now press Accept or Init112 you will see the top left hand corner status change from searching to No service Only.
Proceed as normal with the Rebel Micro sim instructions and all else will work the same way its working for you now with Lower version of the iOS firmwares.
We all know Apple like to update the OS as often as they can. Last night we saw the coming of the latest iOS 4.3.4. Many users of iPhone 4 Unlocking Simcards will be wondering if the New iOS 4.3.4 can be unlocked and asking them self should i update or not?
The Great News is the Rebel Micro simcard users have no problem to unlock the iPhone 4 on the newest firmware and dont need to rely on jailbreaks. The new 4.3.4 firmware was published to eradicate some back doors for Jail breaking in the 4.3.3 iOs and below.
Whats new in the iOS 4.3.4 ?
The security hole that existed in the 4.3.3 iOS had to be closed as it allowed arbitrary code execution when viewing a maliciously crafted PDF or webspage. Hackers had found a way to inject their own code in the iOS file system to take control of it.
The website in question that used this method wasjailbreakme.com and is able to Jailbreak iPhones and iPads and the New iPad 2. This is a very easy way for non technical users to take advantage of free and cracked applications and the ability to Jailbreak Device’s and add cydia without cables or softwares.
Where once to Jailbreak it was required to downloads specialist software’s and apple firmware files it now became child’s play to jailbreak. This is very dangerous for apple as the loss in revenue from users not using the Apps store to buy their applications would spiral as the technology to help defraud Apple was too easily accessible and cant get simpler than visiting a website and pressing a button and sitting back while all is done for you.
4.3.4 Current Jailbreak News
Current News is that iOS 4.3.4 is still jailbreakable, but the jailbreak process is not as smooth as JailbreakMe 3.0 offers and some people may not like the extra complications they’ll have to do to get it. Another down side is its tethered which means after power and then on or loose battery then you have to do the process again.
Besides PwnageTool 4.3.3, iOS 4.3.4 and iTunes 10.3.1 you’ll also require PwnageTool bundles for iOS 4.3.4 and the tetheredbot utility to go through with the jailbreak. On the Other hand Apple also had to close the jailbreak and break the tethered jailbreak to put of people from jail breaking to sell more of its apps on its own store and make it the primary option agian.

The 2Phone case for the iPhone 4 is a 3-in-1 case. It is A) a case, B) a dual-SIM adapter, which allows you to use two SIM cards for voice at the same time, and C) an extended battery(ish..). The team at RebelSim sent me one to review so read on to find out more about it:
Video Review:
Video review of the 2Phone 3-in-1 iPhone 4 case
As a case:
The 2Phone as a case offers full scratch protection for everything except the front screen; for front screen protection, you’ll want to pair this with a screen protector.
The inside of the case (the part that the rear glass touches) is a slightly textured plastic that protects the entire backside of the iPhone:
The bumper that covers the sides is a relatively thin, translucent plastic that covers everything else except the front glass. It comes in a few different colors, but it only comes with this “smoke” colored one (and I can’t seem to find a way to get/order other colors), but I personally like the color well enough:
The bumper completely covers the volume and power buttons and unfortunately it makes it a bit annoying to change the volume. I find that I have to either press hard, or use my thumbnail, to actually get the volume buttons to press in (as opposed to being able to just lightly use the “pad” of my thumb). Also, it prevents you from easily using your thumb to flip the vibrate switch – I now have to use either my thumb/index fingernail:
All of the port “cut outs” line up perfectly, such as the headset jack and camera:
What’s also nice is that it gets rid of the proprietary Apple port and replaces it with a micro usb port (which is used for charging AND syncing with your computer/iTunes):
The case is very light and when compared with the weight of the iPhone 4, I really can’t tell a weight difference when using it. However, the case does add a bit of thickness to the phone – it almost (not quite) doubles it’s thickness, but at least it’s curved on the edges, so it’s not like you would be carrying around a brick:
As an extended battery / second SIM card:
The part that sets this case apart from all other cases I’ve seen is the fact that it lets you use a 2nd SIM card at the same time as the iPhone’s SIM card; You don’t have to switch between two SIM cards like other dual-SIM solutions.
The case is essentially a second phone that you are attaching to the iPhone, except instead of having it’s own screen, you use a jailbroken iPhone app to use it. The 2Phone case is powered by it’s own 800mAh battery and not the iPhone 4:
This battery can also act as an extended battery to charge the iPhone 4 as well, however, it must have a remaining capacity of at least 50%. If it has less than 50%, it will not charge the iPhone as the case will reserve the remaining 50% to use for powering the case. With a full charge of the 2Phone battery, I have been able to charge the iPhone about 20% before the 2Phone battery reaches 50% and stops charging the iPhone. It’s not much, but think of it more as a bonus feature than anything else – in other words, don’t buy it to rely on as a backup power source.
The 2Phone is quad band 850/900/1800/1900 and unlocked, so it should work with any SIM you end up pairing it with. It takes regular size SIM cards so you’ll need to use a microsim-to-regular SIM adapter if you end up using it with a microsim:
As mentioned earlier, in order to utilize the 2Phone’s SIM card, you need to install their 2Phone app which requires your iPhone to be jailbroken. Luckily, at least at the time of this posting with 4.3.3 being the latest iOS, I believe all iOS versions are easily jailbreakable. To get the 2Phone app, open up Cydia and add the 2Phone source (www.2phone.com/cydia) and then install the only app within that repository which is 2Phone. (Jailbreaking is bit out of the scope of this review, but feel free to comment below if you have any questions about doing so) .
The app itself is very similar to the built in Phone app on the iPhone. The iPhone Phone app has options for Favorites, Recents, Contacts, Keypad and Voicemail whereas the 2Phone has Settings, Recents, Message, Contacts, and Keypad:
(on a side note…I find it interesting that on my UK iPhone, they spelled it “Favorites” and not “Favourites”)
There are a few different setting options you can change such as the ring volume and tone, text message tone, the phone number to use for voicemail, as well as setting/inputting the SIM pin. As far as Ringtones, you are able to use the single 2Phone created ringtone, or any of the built in iPhone ringtones:
To place a call with either SIM card, you simply use the appropriate app (the default phone app for the iPhone SIM or the 2Phone app for the 2Phone SIM). When you receive a call from the 2Phone SIM, you’ll get what looks like a notification popup which will then open up the 2Phone app to accept that call:
One thing that does bug me a bit is the fact that the audio quality of the speaker phone when using the 2Phone isn’t that great. The audio is rather scratchy and not nearly as loud as when using the iPhone speaker phone. Again, it’s nice to be able to use two SIM cards at once, but it’s disappointing that the speakerphone doesn’t perform well with the 2Phone.
Wrap up:
If what you are looking for is the ability to have two SIM cards active at the same time, then this is the case for you (plus, it gives you great scratch protection and a small extended battery). However, don’t buy it thinking you will be getting a big boost in call time (remember, it’ll only charge the iPhone if the 2Phone has 50% or greater battery left). That being said, it works great for adding an extra line to your iPhone. I would prefer it being a bit cheaper though, as at £130/$210, it’s the cost of a low end Android phone. But if you are currently having to carry around two phones to have two separate numbers (such as a work and personal phone), it would probably be worth it to ditch one of them!
Pros:
Lets you use 2 SIM cards at the same time
Light weight, scratch protection case
Looks sleek
Adds a micro usb port (instead of an Apple port)
Cons:
The battery doesn’t provide much extended battery for the iPhone
The bumper covers the vibrate switch causing it to require extra effort to switch it
No Other Unlock Simcard in the World can Work in this way.
The Video shows Auto Detection of Network after using Air plane mode On/Off and also after power off. The signal is Solid and Can be seen clearly and thier no need to dial 112 after using air plane mode or power off.
